Not bord ga*s but was with ESB up until end of November last when I changed to Airtricity. Got my actual meter reading and account statement today from Airtricity showing €2.32 in credit before the month of July payment is taken on the 29th .( I'm on the equaliser plan , I pay same amount every month so summer will be in credit and winter will use up..) . Decided to check what I spent with ESB last year (cause I'm a miserable sod who keeps all the bills !).. For the same period last year I paid ESB €690 and this year have paid Airtricity €560 .. Savings will pay for my house insurance!

I double Lovingmum, you can save 13% with airtricity, but you have to pay the bills with direct debit and have to sign up for their online billing. I am actually happier to be able to access our account anytime on the internet as oppose to waiting on the phone thats only been answered between business hours. You can also get your bill devided for 12 month equally so you'll pay same/similar amounts each month instead of having huge bill in winter. You can submit your readings anytime and as often as you want.Bord gas have been asking to pay deposit for renters in the last 2 years or so, before that you only needed to pay deposit when you didnt choose direct debit. I actually forgot that i paid deposit but then the cheque was a nice surprise:)
